This is what war is about. Even with precision guided bombs. When you have to take defended ground, especially in close quarters it gets ugly, and nasty. What is in that article is actually not quite as brutal and disturbing as the stuff I have read about Stalingrad. But then the Iraqi forces are not that desperate yet and nobody is in danger from a Russian winter either.

Exactly. It's just war, and war is horrible.
